NBA Playoffs Props for Indiana Pacers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Game 3

The first two NBA Finals games have been as electric as it gets. From Tyrese Haliburton’s Game-Winner in Game 1 to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s twin 30+ points efforts, we have already enjoyed many memorable moments.

The second options, Pascal Siakam and Jalen Williams, have shown up too and can become heroes in what has become a best-of-five scenario. In that wake, let us look at the NBA Player Props for Game 3 on June 11 based on BetMGM and FanDuel.

NBA Playoffs Props Finals Game 3 – Indiana Pacers NBA Betting Picks

Pascal Siakam U 19.5 points or -105 (BetMGM)

The Indiana Forward is enjoying another terrific postseason run after his 2019 championship heroics with the Toronto Raptors. However, the Thunder silenced him for a 3/11 night in Game 2, but the PF reached 15 points, thanks to free throws.

The forward has scored 19 or fewer points in the first two games. I believe the Thunder defense will contain him below the mark for the third straight game.

Tyrese Haliburton O 4.5 rebounds for -132 (FanDuel)

The Pacers are a typical example of a gang-rebounding team that doesn’t rely on just a couple of players to pull off the big boards. Haliburton can be a decent contributor on the end, though he doesn’t produce big-time numbers.

He clamped down 3 boards in Game 2 but had pulled down 10 in Game 1. Overall, he has pulled down 6 or more rebounds in three of the last five games. Thus, I am willing to take a risk on him gathering at least 5 in Game 3.

TJ McConnell O 3.5 assists for -128 (FanDuel)

McConnell provides terrific hustle off the bench. His playmaking abilities also make him a valuable bench player. The PG dished 6 assists in Game 2, going way over the projected mark of 3.5. He hit “Over’ in Game 1 as well, with 4 assists.

The guard has now dished 4 or more assists in three of the last four games. I expect him to continue the trend.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander O 1.5 three-pointers for -125 (BetMGM)

SGA is mostly a mid-range master and a paint producer. At the same time, his long-range shooting has improved too. He had just 1 triple in Game 2 but had made 3 in Game 1. The Thunder PG has nailed 2 or more in four of the last five games.

The projections have improved in terms of his long-range shooting, and I will ride the wave to predict at least 2 three-pointers.

Isaiah Hartenstein O 7.5 rebounds for +116 (FanDuel)

I-Hart has been a terrific rebounder for the Thunder throughout the season. His numbers are down in the playoffs, but the center has managed 8 or more rebounds in two straight games. He had gone “under” the projections in three straight games.

I expect him to pull down at least 8 boards here.

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
